THESIS AND ANTITHESIS No 14
by Demos Sympetheros


GOOD MORNING.
TODAY  I AM GOING TO COMMENT MY NEW
THESIS AND ANTITHESIS FOCUSING
ON ECONOMICS AND ESPECIALLY IN THE
CASE OF GREECE.

DEALING WITH THIS CASE IT WILL BE PROVEN
A PARADOX CONCLUSION.
THAT IS THAT SOMETIMES THERE IS NO ANTITHESIS ON 
A THESIS AND VISE VERSE

LETS BEGIN WITH SOME FACTS.

GREECE WAS ALLOWED TO ENTER IN EUROZONE
IN 2002.
IT WAS BY FAR KNOWN TO ALL AUTHORITIES THAT
GREEK ECONOMY WAS NOT ACTUALLY A
ROBUST EMERGING MARKET.

DEFICIENCIES WERE PRESENT FOR MANY YEARS.
(POLITICAL CORRUPTION, TAX EVASION, BLACK ECONOMY).

DESPITE ALL THAT THE ENTRANCE OF GREECE INTO
EUROZONE WAS (TO MY BELIEF) A GIFT FROM....
GOD.!!!!
ALL GREEKS INSTANTLY HAD ACQUIRED IN HAND, IN A JUST
A SINGLE MOMENT,  A VALUABLE ASSET. 
THAT IS THE EURO
AN ASSET MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAN THE GREEK DRACHMA.

THE ADVANTAGES WERE MANY AND OBVIOUS.
ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS.
LOW INTEREST RATES
LOW INFLATION.
MONETARY STABILITY.

ALL OF THE ABOVE CONSTITUTE THE
ABSOLUTE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS FOR A STATE
TO ENHANCE GROWTH.
MOREOVER GROWTH MEANS PROSPERITY.
AND WHEN PROSPERITY IS PRESENT THE DISADVANTAGES
(OF EUROZONE MEMBERSHIP) ARE MINIMIZED!!!.

SO GREECE WAS STANDING ON A VERY  IMPORTANT "THESIS".
"BEING A MEMBER OF EUROZONE"
THE ANTITHESIS IN THIS CASE IS..... OBVIOUS!!!!

BUT INSTEAD OF TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE ADVANTAGES
AND PROMOTE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY, THE GREEK AUTHORITIES
AND GREEK  PUBLIC ACTING AS "OTHER SMALL TYRANTS" DID WHATEVER
WAS NECESSARY TO STAGNATE THE GREEK ECONOMY
WHICH FINALLY RESULTED TO DEFAULT!!!!.

ONE SHOULD ASK AT THIS POINT.
WHY THE EUROPEAN AUTHORITIES ALLOWED "THE GREEK PARTY"
FOR TEN YEARS?.
DIDN'T THEY KNEW?
OF COURSE THEY KNEW.

BUT EUROPE FIRST OF ALL MEANS...... DEMOCRACY!!!!

THAT IS FREEDOM OF.... OWN-CHOICE!!!!
(I LIKE THIS EXPLANATION AND I WILL.... BUY IT!!!)

SO GREEKS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT FREEDOM AND
TRANSLATED INTO.... MY OWN-OWN-......-OWN-CHOICE!!!!.(GIGGLES!!!)

THE RESULTS...... ARE KNOWN!!!
DEFAULT RESULTED TO.... AUSTERITY!!!

WHAT ARE WE  DOING FROM NOW ON?

SHOULD WE STICK IN THIS "THESIS" THAT IS
TO REMAIN TO EUROZONE OR SHOULD WE
PASS INTO ANTITHESIS WHICH IS,  RETURN TO DRACHMA?
AND WHAT WE WOULD SEE FURTHERMORE IF WE INTERSECT
THE INTERCOURSE OF THESIS AND ANTITHESIS IN THIS
CASE STUDY?

THE OUTCOME IS OBVIOUS.
WE CAN NOT HAVE AN INTERCOURSE IN THIS CASE,
BECAUSE THE OTHER PART, THE ANTITHESIS (THAT IS EXIT
FROM EUROZONE) IS COMPLETELY.... "UNABLE".. .IS..."USELESS"!!!!.

SO WE MUST STAY ON THE THESIS WE ARE NOW.
THAT IS INTO THE EUROZONE AND TRY TO 
ELIMINATE EACH ONE OF US OUR "INDIVIDUAL TYRANNY"
IN ORDER TO PROMOTE GROWTH THROUGH THE BENEFITS
WHICH ARE MENTIONED ABOVE.

THIS IS A PARADOX CONCLUSION!!!! 
WE HAVE THE CASE WHERE THERE SHOULD  NOT BE
AN ANTITHESIS TO A THESIS

DO WE NEED HELP FOR THAT?
MAY BE WE NEED AN .......ANGEL...FROM
SOMEWHERE IN THE ......NORTH  SIDE OF..
.......THE MOON!!!!!!
